Is it possible to see the other user's Current Work Item?

Hi,

Please let me know about following thing.

In Eclipse client, in the status bar, user can see what the current work item is.
For example, at first, it is "<No Current Work>".
Then, right click "<No Current Work>" and click "Set Current Work Item", user can select the work item which should be the Current Work Item.

Question,
Is there a way to see other user's Current Work Item, which is displayed in the status bar?

I have found no way to see another user's current work (or for that
matter, my own current work from any client other than the original
Eclipse client where it was set). I speculate that it is just stored in
the Eclipse metadata (not in the Jazz repository) and therefore only
visible from the original Eclipse client.

Note: The "show current work" operation on a user appears to just run a
query asking for work items that you own that are still open, and
therefore is only somewhat related to the Eclipse current work. In
particular, when you set something as your Eclipse current work, it will
ask you if you want to set yourself as the owner if you are not already
the owner. So commonly, work items that you have set as your "current
work" will show up in your "show current work" results.

Cheers,
Geoff
